If some of the following criteria describe you or members of your team, then you will gain significant benefits from using the Increment System:

• You compete regularly
• You want to develop a mental edge
• You feel that you don’t perform to your potential as often as you should
• You performance seems to be heavily influenced by “how you feel on the day”
• You suffer from nerves or some other negative state of mind during competition
• You have read numerous sports psychology books but they seem to just boil down to a list of anecdotes or gimmicks

I should stress that the system is not just to be used by players with mental difficulties, but will be beneficial for any player as it will allow them to define a repeatable process for achieving a positive mental state, thereby ensuring quality performances on a regular basis.
